I obviously love making my own soups and sharing my recipes, but there are those times when cooking is way too tiring or I want to try a soup recipe in a restaurant. With the abundance of choices in NYC, it can be overwhelming to decide on the best restaurant as well as to know where the best deals are. Luckily, now you don't have to go blindly into a restaurant anymore thanks to a new real-time restaurant deal website called BiteHunter.

I recently had the opportunity to learn more about this interesting start-up (over vegan cupcakes, no less) who told me all about their real-time search and dine website. Founded in 2010, Bite Hunter allows users to search for deals and offers 24 hours a day - so if you are looking for a Chicken Soup for dinner or if you are craving Lentil Soup at midnight, you locate information the best restaurants that offer these soups as well as deals in real-time. How it works is also very simple, all you have to do is type in what food you are looking for (soup) and what city you are (New York) and presto: a listing of thousands of restaurants that feature soups appeared. Within each restaurant review, you will find rating from users, the address and a map, a brief write-up, a picture gallery, reviews and whether the restaurant has any deals or offers.

As a new company, Bite Hunter wants to expand their market, but you can currently locate deals in New York, Chicago and San Francisco who collects their information about deals and discounts through e-newsletters, daily deals websites, Open Table, and a restaurant's Facebook Page or Twitter account. This is an incredible feature for the soup lover who can search for the best restaurants based on daily deals as well as discover new restaurants that they never heard of.
